Funny warnings

[cattleskinner]

While doing some work on the deer blind yesterday, I noticed this warning on a sheet of plywood. Thought you guys might get a kick out of it. Anyone else have off the wall or rediculous warnings they have heard lately?

[oldgeezershooter]

Here's a good one.

[Roger Ronas]

Another BS scare tactic. Wood dust is not a chemical. Plywood can be made with some chems in it and when you cut it, it can have some MINUTE particles that have that chem on it, but come on. I was a custom woodworker for 30 years and cut 1000's of cuts in plywood, covered head to toe with saw(wood) dust and dug boogers out of my nose that were disgusting. But I never had a cancer problem.

A good place to stay away from then.

My daughter and SIL recently moved from Phoenix to just south of LA. They had to leave a few shooters with a friend. She is in a real nice little town but says people are different out there. I remind her that Kali is noted for being the "land of fruits and nuts". She is not "fruity" so that leaves them in the other category. Sure will be glad when they regain their senses and BO of that place.

[Hardcast416taylor]

Awhile back I was in a tractor supply store looking to buy a new zerk fitting for my grease gun. I saw a similar Ca. warning on the back of the fitting card about this is a known cancer causing agent by the state of Ca. My question is, are they talking about the cardboard or the zerk fitting or the ink the warning was printed with?Robert:holysheep

[Chicken Thief]

When refined to 100% and fed exclusively to rats/mice for a prolonged period of time, i think pretty much anything will be cancerogenic. But thats just me!

"In California everything causes cancer."

I'm a California native and, unfortunately, still trapped here. Theperfessor is correct, everything causes cancer, including the air and water. It's been scientificly proven that liberals cause cancer and illiteracy. However, since liberals control the education system and the legislature, it is not taught in the schools nor are there any such warnings on election ballots.

"My question is, are they talking about the cardboard or the zerk fitting or the ink the warning was printed with?Robert"

Robert,
The warning pertains to everything you mentioned, in addition to the grease that passes through the fitting.

Nother one!

[oldgeezershooter]

Nother one.

[Love Life]

I always loved this one on the side of the AT-4 rocket

"Do not dispose of by running over with a vehicle"

Sad thing is they probably put that warning on the rocket because somebody tried to dispose of a live one by running over it.

[Love Life]

[JSnover]

The other warning on the Claymore was "Do Not Eat"

[Frank46]

Here's one I read some years back. "Beware of flying objects they will be bullets" Frank

Has it really come to this?

[MT Gianni]

No pics but always liked the bar on the chain saw that read " do not attempt to stop moving chain with your hand".

[Hip's Ax]

When I was a kid my best friend's parents bought a pot belly wood stove. Cast into the top was "HOT WHEN IN USE". We laughed for years.

[Harter66]

Microwave food package "contents will be hot after cooking"

Potato bags advises "farm raised potatoes "

Sign on the counter case at Baskin Robins"Ice cream contains milk products and may contain nuts"

Uhhmm its going to be cold after 3min in a mirco that boils water in 2? Dangit I was so looking forward to free range potatoes. Wait you've got to be kidding me ice CREAM has milk products. Next thing ya know milk will be coming outta cows and eggs outta chickens..........:p

My Mom forwarded an email w a picture of a news paper clipping that stated something to the effect of" hunting the ultimate in animal cruelty you should get your meat from the store where no animals are hurt."

Yes its getting that ridiculous:p

[Geraldo]

Back in the days of landline, corded phones, I bought one that included a caution about using the phone in a shower during electrical storms. :veryconfu

[curiousgeorge]

My absolute favorite was on a TOILET BOWL BRUSH that I bought several years ago.

"NOT FOR INTERNAL USE"

I haven't been right since then ( or maybe even before reading the warning!!!).

[Taylor]

It just amaze's me how really stupid some people can be,that it would be even necessary to post such a sign.Yet,when I go to a home for a signature for a piece of mail,the young man wants to know which name I want him to sign,his first or last.He,by his own admission,is not real good at cursive,he alway's had difficulty with it.

[GREENCOUNTYPETE]

In California everything causes cancer.

i think it does that when you mix it with smog
the "everything" that is.

they could just say California air causes cancer but that could effect tourism

so i recon if they just say everything they sell in California causes cancer , it's less likely that people will realize it's just the air when you ,mix it with everything else.

[oldgeezershooter]

Here's another.

[JohnH]

"Slow Children At Play"

I never understood why I was supposed to be afraid of slow children...

[JSnover]

"Thickly Settled Area"
I guess they have a problem with dust.

[nanuk]

we now have ones that say "High Collision Area Strictly Enforced"

as a good citizen, I try to have a collision every time I go through those marked intersections

[wills]

"Slow Children At Play"

I never understood why I was supposed to be afraid of slow children...

I was always surprised anyone would admit they had slow children.

I understand the public schools have stopped teaching cursive handwriting.

[Bloodman14]

We were told it was writing in 'script'.

[Blacksmith]

In my day it was called longhand. Then secretaries (what are those) learned to take dictation in shorthand which they then transcribed using a typewriter.

Things have changed.

While doing some work on the deer blind yesterday, I noticed this warning on a sheet of plywood. Thought you guys might get a kick out of it. Anyone else have off the wall or rediculous warnings they have heard lately?

The obvious solution is not to do wood work in the State Of California because that's where you get cancer from it. You'd probably be just fine across the border in Nevada.

Funniest road sign I've seen and didn't have a camera to take a picture,

Somewhere in Oklahoma . . .

Caution
Roadway wet
during rain.

Rick

[StrawHat]

When I was working in Arizona, I saw a sign that read

"...DO NOT ENTER WHEN FLOODED..."

I should have snapped a photo.

By the way, I am pretty sure that cancer is hereditary in lab animals.

[missionary5155]

Good morning Thanks fellers... I forgot how much fun it is to drive about organized traffic. Here if you take the time to look for non-existant road signs you you will certainly break the only road law that menas anything... Do not cause an accident.

Not sure when it will close, but definitely know when it will open :mrgreen:

Too bad this sign is removed some time last year.

[ErikO]

I remember crossing into Canada by Winsor and saw a sign that said "Oncoming traffic has the right of way". Saw no such sign on the way back to the US from Canada at the same crossing...

[oldgeezershooter]

Nother one.

Here's two...

[montana_charlie]

The 'warnings' I get the biggest kick from are the spoken 'fine print' that accompanies television ads for perscription medications.

For one thing, I think it's stupid to advertise prescription meds. A doctor should choose your medication based on his training ... not have the patient coming in and saying, "Hey Doc, maybe you should get me off of that old Blaboline and get me going with Canalobadone."

Anyway, the 'side effects' listed so fast you can't remember them basically say that this wonder drug, Exofritz, can easily kill you six ways from Sunday ... but it will keep you from waking up in the middle of the night ... or keeps you from being short of breath ... or makes it somewhat less likely you'll have a stroke, as long as you take it along WITH the other ten meds your doctor has already prescribed.

Too funny ... too sad ...
CM

[cbrick]

It’s worse than that Charlie. For each of these new wonder drugs you see advertised on TV the pharmaceutical company has an army of foot soldiers (salesmen) that hit every doctors office in the country, they give the doctors a kick back on each and every prescription they write for that new wonder drug. Once a month the doctor gets a check in the mail for the number of prescriptions he wrote.

Then a couple years after the wonder drug commercials start they stop and the ambulance chaser TV ads start suing the drug maker for all the death and damage caused by the wonder drug.

It’ all good, it keeps people working. Well, the drug companies and the ambulance chasers anyway.

Ok, rant over, back to the original topic.

Rick

[kmag]

Where in the world do the pharmaceutical company's find the people that read the side effects of their medications in tv advertisements. They have the ability to speak about a thousand words a minute you can't keep up with them. But, if you listen closely you can pick out a few like heart attack brain tumor, and the ones that always caught my attention, chronic flatulence and oily discharge.

[oneokie]

take it along WITH the other ten meds your doctor has already prescribed.

Too funny ... too sad ...
CM

The really sad part is that 5 of those 10 meds are to counteract the side effects of the ones prescribed in the first place.

[Chicken Thief]

This discussion is just sick ;-)

[frkelly74]

There was a bait shop down on M43 by Kalamazoo that had a big bill board sign that proclaimed their place of business name, J&L Bait.. It was not up long and I wish I had a picture. It just leaped out at you.

[mold maker]

A grocery store here used to advertise. "You can whip our cream, but you can't beat our meat."

A bait shop ad read. "Charlies worm works"
My ad used to read. "Bakers Pour House."

[montana_charlie]

But, if you listen closely you can pick out a few like heart attack brain tumor, and the ones that always caught my attention, chronic flatulence and oily discharge.
The ones which realy tickle me are those for the sleep aid, where the guy says 'walking, eating and driving while asleep have occurred'.

Driving ??? Asleep ???

I'm surprised he doesn't say 'flying to the Middle East and joining the harem of a Saudi sheik, while asleep, have occurred.' ... or something.

Ambian, a sleep aid, has a long history of unusual behaviors. People have literally awoken to find groceries on their counter, ice cream melting, and no memory of getting up or going anywhere. Others have cooked and eaten a complete meal with no memory, only the evidence left. Driving while asleep is a common effect of this med.

Yeah, it's potentially a very dangerous med.

:bigsmyl2: There were 2 butcher shops in London that sat across the street from each other. One butcher, to get more business than his competitor, placed a sign in his window. "The Queen buys her meats here" it proclaimed. The other butcher also placed a sign in his window. The sign read, "God save the Queen".Robert
